personnel.

WARNING

To prevent electric shock, always ground the Incubator. If grounding is not possible, then have a ground

installed by qualified personnel. If the Incubator is not grounded, it may result in electric shock.

Never connect the ground wire to a gas pipe, water pipe, lightning rod, or telephone ground wire.

Doing so may cause electric shock

.

z

Installing a ground fault circuit breaker

If using the Incubator in a location with moisture or humidity cannot be avoided, then it is recommended

that a ground fault circuit breaker be installed in the power supply circuit (i.e., the power supply at the

Incubator). Have the circuit breaker installed by qualified service personnel.

CAUTION

Do not climb on the Incubator or place objects on top of it. Doing so may damage it or cause it to fall

over, resulting in injury. If it is to be stacked, refer to page 62 and stack it securely.

z

When the Incubator is not in use

Empty the water from the humidifying pan and remove moisture from the chamber. Make sure that the

chamber is completely dry before closing the doors. Failure to do so may result in damage.

z

Before moving the Incubator

Before moving the Incubator, empty the water from the humidifying pan, disconnect the power supply plug

from the outlet, and make sure that the cord will not be damaged. Failure to do so may result in electric

shock or fire.

105

14

Connecting a CO

2

gas cylinder

WARNING

When connecting a gas cylinder to the Incubator, confirm the gas type. Confirm that the connections

are secure and that no gas will escape. Be sure to use the specified pressure. Using an incorrect

gas or pressure may result in explosion or fire, or in gas poisoning or oxygen deprivation due to escaping

gas.

Install the Incubator in a location with adequate ventilation. If adequate ventilation cannot be

provided, then install an alarm system using

CO

2

and O

2

densitometers.

1. Use a liquefied CO

2

gas cylinder (at least 99.5% pure). The siphon (dip tube) type cannot be used.

2. Install the Gas Pressure Regulator (MCO-100L, purchased separately) specified by Sanyo on the CO

2

gas cylinder. Otherwise, use a CO

2

gas pressure regulator rated at 25 MPaG (250 kgf/cm

2

G, 3600 psiG)

for the primary pressure, and 0.2 MPaG (2 kgf/cm

2

G, 30 psiG) for the secondary pressure.

3. Using the gas supply pipe that is provided, connect the CO

2

gas pressure regulator to the CO

2

gas pipe

inlet (located at the lower left-hand side on the rear panel of the Incubator).

Note:

If CO

2

is supplied to multiple CO

2

Incubators from a single gas cylinder, a CO

2

solid will be formed in the

gas pressure regulator. The gas pressure regulator safety valve will operate, and there may an explosive

sound.

When the MCO-21GC is not mounted

Using the gas supply pipe that is provided, connect the CO

2

gas pressure regulator for the CO

2

gas

cylinder to CO

2

gas pipe connection port A on the Incubator. After connecting the pipe, check to make

sure that no gas is leaking.

When the MCO-21GC is mounted

Connect a pair of CO

2

gas cylinders with CO

2

gas pressure regulators independently. The gas supply line

will be switched automatically. Connect the main cylinder to port A and the reserve cylinder to port B. After

connecting the cylinders, check to make sure that no gas is leaking.

z

For details on installing the optional automatic CO

2

Cylinder Changeover Kit (MCO-21GC), refer to the

MCO-21GC installation guide. For details on using the MCO-21GC, refer to page 57.

4. Set the CO

2

gas on the secondary side to 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm

2

G, 4.3 psiG) for gas injection. As the

pressure increases, the CO

2

gas concentration control range will increase. Excessive pressure may

cause gas supply lines inside the Incubator to come loose, which may result in gas poisoning or oxygen

deprivation due to the escaping of gas. If gas lines come loose, the Incubator must be repaired.

z

The gas lines connected to the Incubator will degrade over time. If any deterioration or abnormalities

are found during inspection, replace the lines immediately.

106

15

PREVENTING CONTAMINATION

To prevent contamination of the chamber, select a suitable installation site.

z

Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity.

Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity, because of a greater presence of microorganisms in

the air.

z

Avoid locations with passers-by or drafts.

Avoid locations near doors, air conditioners, fans, etc., where passers-by or drafts can facilitate the entry

of microorganisms into the chamber.

z

If possible, use a cleanroom.

To achieve a better culture, it is recommended that a cleanroom be used if one is available.

z

Use clean containers.

The greatest cause of contamination is dirty containers for cultures. Be careful not to get containers or

trays dirty when taking them in and out.

z

Keep the chamber clean.

Wipe off any fingerprints. If water spills from the humidifying pan, or if the doors are left open for a long

time, condensation may form on the inside of the doors. If that occurs, wipe off the condensation with a

dry sterile gauze. In particular, clean and disinfect the chamber if the culture medium is spilled. For details,

refer to Routine Maintenance on page 36.

z

Use sterile distilled water in the humidifying pan.

Always use sterile distilled water in the humidifying pan. Do not use ultrapure water, because it may

contain red rust-like suspended particles.

A water level alarm is displayed in the status display area on the control panel. Quickly refill the water in

the pan when the water level alarm is displayed. Adding low-temperature water will significantly lower the

temperature in the chamber. Clean the humidifying pan once a month.

z

Keep the Incubator out of direct airflows from air conditioners or fans.

Cool airflow from an air conditioner may cause condensation and lead to possible contamination.

107

16

PRECAUTIONS FOR CULTURES

z

Leave space between culture containers.

Always leave space for ventilation between culture containers (Petri dishes, flasks, etc.). Inadequate

spacing may result in uneven temperature distribution and CO

2

gas concentration.

z

Do not place harmful materials in the chamber.

Never place samples that release acidic, alkali, or corrosive gas in the chamber. Doing so may cause

damage resulting from discoloration or corrosion.

z

Close the inner door.

Always close the inner door before closing the outer door. Failure to close the inner door will adversely

affect performance even if the outer door is closed.

z

Open and close the doors gently.

Always open and close the doors gently. Closing the doors forcefully may cause spillage of the culture

medium, incomplete closing, or damage to the gasket. Before opening the inner door, check through the

glass to confirm that the UV lamp is OFF (if the MCO-19AIC(UV) or the optional MCO-19UVS is

installed).

z

Be careful when closing the outer door.

Use the handle when closing the outer door. Holding the door in other places may cause injury by getting

fingers caught in the door. Do not lean on the outer door. Doing so may result in injury from the outer door

coming loose or the Incubator falling over, or it may cause current leakage or electric shock.

z

Be careful of the inside of the outer door.

The inside of the outer door may become hot.

z

Avoid using excessive force on the inner door.

Do not put your hand on the glass, poke it with sharp objects, or apply strong force. Doing so may result

in injury from breaking the glass.

z

Check the cause of any alarm buzzer.

If an alarm buzzer sounds while the Incubator is in use, immediately check the cause of the alarm. For

details on what may cause an alarm buzzer to sound, refer to page 46.

2. Remove the packing materials from the chamber and inner attachments. Clean and disinfect the

chamber and inner attachments, referring to Routine Maintenance on page 36.

3. Add approximately 1.5 L of sterile distilled water to the humidifying pan. (Refer to page 39.)

4. Turn ON the power supply switch on the left side of the rear panel of the Incubator.

Note:

The humidity in the Incubator chamber is adjusted to the optimum setting. To prevent condensation on

the surface inside chamber and the inner door, there is a low-temperature area under the humidifying pan

in the bottom of chamber to recondense evaporated moisture. Condensation may occur around the

humidifying pan at the bottom of the chamber (on the inside of the humidifying pan cover), but this does

not indicate a problem.

WARNING

Do not leave plastic wrapping bags within reach of children. If a bag is placed over a child’s head, it

can block the mouth and nose and cause suffocation.
